Is That You God?
A young man had been to Wed. night Bible Study. The
pastor had shared about listening to God and
obeying
the Lord's voice. The young man couldn't help but
wonder,
"Does God still speak to people?"
After service, he went out with some friends for
coffee
and pie and they discussed the message. Several
different
ones talked about how God had led them in different
ways.
It was about ten o'clock when the young man started
driving
home.
Sitting in his car, he just began to pray,
"God...If you still speak to
people speak to me. I will listen. I will do my
best to obey."
As he drove
down the main street of his town, he had the
strangest thought to stop and
buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said
out loud, "God is that
you?" He didn't get a reply and started on toward
home.
But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk. The
young man
thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize
the voice
of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli. "Okay,
God, in case
that is you, I will buy the milk."
It didn't seem
like too hard a
test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He
stopped and purchased
the gallon of milk and started off toward home.
As he passed Seventh Street, he again felt the urge, "Turn down that
street." This is crazy he thought and drove on past
the intersection.
Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh
Street. At the next
intersection, he turned back and headed down
Seventh. Half jokingly, he said
out loud, "Okay, God, I will."
He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt
like he should stop. He
pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was
in a semi-commercial area
of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst
of neighborhoods either.
The businesses were closed and most of the houses
looked dark like the
people were already in bed. Again, he sensed
something, "Go and give the
milk to the people in the house across the street."
The young man looked at
the house. It was dark and it looked like the
people were either gone or
they were already asleep. He started to open the
door and then sat back in
the car seat. "Lord, this is insane. Those people
are asleep and if I wake
them up, they are going to be mad and I will look
stupid."
Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk.
Finally, he
opened the door. "Okay God, if this is you, I will
go to the door and I
will give them the milk. If you want me to look
like a crazy person, okay. I
want to be obedient. I guess that will count for
something but if they don't
answer right away, I am out of here.
He walked across the street and rang the bell. He
could hear
some noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, "Who
is it? What do you want?"
Then the door opened before the young man could get
away. The man was
standing there in his jeans and t-shirt. He looked
like he just got out of
bed. He had a strange look on his face and he
didn't seem too happy to have
some stranger standing on his doorstep. "What is
it?" The young man thrust
out the gallon of milk. "Here I brought this to
you."
The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway,
speaking
loudly in Spanish. Then from down the hall came a
woman
carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was
following
her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man
had tears
streaming down his face. The man began speaking and
half-crying, "We were
just praying. We had some big bills this month and
we ran out of money. We
didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just
praying and asking God to show
me how to get some milk."
His wife in the kitchen yelled out, "I ask him to
send an Angel
with some. Are you an Angel?" The young man reached
into
his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on
him and put in the man's
hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and
the tears were streaming
down his face. He knew that God still answers
prayers.
This is a simple test...
If you believe that God is alive and well, send
this to at least three people.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to uplift one
another.
